Cause and Effect....

It's amazing the effect Iraq has had on our troops. I could go on and on about all the serious stuff for days.

But for now... it seems my fellow soldiers are so used to spending all their time in blazing hot sand storms that they close the bases down back here in the States for a measly 6 inches of snow!

Yes it's true folks. Not even picture-worthy.... but enough by Army standards to shut down the whole base, including the HOSPITAL and all the Army training schools. We were locked in the barracks for 24 hours, and not allowed to drive our cars anywhere.

Is it just me? Or is the whole country in a prolonged state of PTSD?

    In the UK it only takes about a centimetre of snow to close the whole country down.

    LMAO... Id like to witness that some time Simon... I was shocked to see even the HOSPITAL shut down for such a ridiculously small amount of snow!

    We dont shut down here unless the wind drifts everything in. Six inches of snow by itself is nothing.

    I can barely imagine what six inches of snow looks like (apart from on a mountain).
